Developer Only Discussion List

["Eric D. Schabell M.Sc." <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>]

Howdy all,

On Sunday, 07 March 2004 at 1400 GMT I will be holding my last Source Mage 
admin meeting as Project Lead. 

I will start the admin meeting this Sunday by announcing who the new Project 
Lead will be, pass the Staff of Power over to him/her and resign my position 
effective immediately.

In the last few months there has been some decisions made behind the scenes 
which involved the Team Leads and myself to appoint a replacement. The 
replacement has been informed, has agreed and is ready to take charge. 

Further changes will be announced by him/her at the meeting so I would 
request 
as many of the developers as possible to make this meeting. There will most 
likely be a need for some decision making that is easier to facilitate with 
live voices than with mailinglist voting.

I am not quitting due to lack of interest. I have been doing this for over a 
year now and believe it is time to allow others to rise from the ranks. This 
is not a project that stagnate due to lack of dynamic leadership, so I hope 
to achieve with this move. Furthermore, I will be starting a new job as of 01 
April 2004 (really, no joke) and I am expecting my first child at the end of 
June 2004, so there is a need to take a step back due to oncoming time 
constraints.

I have enjoyed working with you all, hope to continue working on Source Mage 
(no I am not leaving) and one day hope to live to see the 1.0 release happen.

PS. Normally I would be available on irc for comments and such, but I am 
currently in bed with the flu (for the last three days). So if you have 
comments or need of me, you will need to email me. I try to check my mail 
once a day. Thanks for your understanding.
